PKR launches $4,200 WSOP satellites

LONDON, England -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Next generation poker room PKR.com have launched their 2011 World Series of Poker Experience satellites, giving players the chance to win their way to Vegas from as little as $2.30.

Final Stage tournaments are rolling Wednesday nights at 19:20 GMT from now until June 15. Winners get a $4,200 World Series package including...

• Entry to WSOP event #54

• $1,000 for flights and travel

• $500 to spend in Sin City

• Six nights in a top Las Vegas hotel

• WSOP goody bag

• Access to a range of VIP events like the official PKR Vegas party, PKR pool party and a 4th of July dinner.

Introduced last year, PKR’s World Series Experience packages put the focus on good times and great poker - a full-on VIP poker experience.

Hopeful players can take their shot at these packages in satellites ranging from $2.30 up to $215. And for those looking to write a true rag to riches story, lotteries are available from as little as $0.45.

PKR Marketing Director Simon Prodger said, “We’d rather send a bunch of players to Vegas to have a great time than send a just a few to the Main Event. PKR Experience Packages are a great way to experience all the excitement of playing a World Series event, enjoying 5* Vegas and partying like a rockstar.”
